That's the truth!

In some ways yes, but in others...... nooooo.

SVO's are sweet cars and I give them my respect. In fact I actually am looking for one for my DD so if someone is selling theirs or knows where to get one in the PA area, let me know.

Plazma, maybe your video of your car could be of some interest here.
http://videos.streetfire.net/search/cobra/0/ac014ddc-26ad-4223-b4fc-98a50015b245.htm
Is that a fair fight? Drag radials vs stock tires? If you stick drag radials on my car it would run 11's instead of high 12's. That makes a big difference. The terminator in that video couldn't hook up. Doesn't matter how much power you have if you can't connect....
You also have to take into account driver experience (which makes a huge difference at the track).
I'd love to see the SVO vs an 04 cobra on the same dyno.
I missed this or would have responded along time ago. His so called stock tires are nitto 555r whihc was listed with his mods. The tires were 295 wide. My car which in the video had killed the clutch (hence the crappy burnout) was running a 235 mt drag radial. I personally think the mt is a better tire but would rather have the extra 4 inches of rubber on the ground if it would fit.
http://videos.streetfire.net/search/svo/1/d908b807-2927-4d8d-9bee-8c45ab773d8a.htm
Guess he had street tires too? Must be why he jumped me out of the hole and forced me to run him done. (i didn't post that video or title btw)
http://videos.streetfire.net/search/svo/1/1f0352bd-cbb4-4fca-93e6-98070171a335.htm
This v-8 must have needed tires too?
Hope you get the point. The v-8 cars are fun and all and I have owned several and currently own a 95 gt 5 spd but anyone who thinks the v-8 is better because it is a v-8 is just silly.

I love V8s and will never drive anything but. But, V8s do not rule the world and are not 'all that'. Used to be that V8s ruled because thats all there really was. That was a long time ago. Now we got 4 bangers and v6s that have sent high hp V8s packing with thier tails between thier legs, and then driven home on pump gas with a well deserved smile on thier face.
My point is this. Theres always somebody better and somebody faster. And they arent all runnin V8s. Know what i mean?
And the whole stock vs. modified bs? Thats comparing apples to hand grenades.

I respect the SVO and 2.3 turbos (like the '79 pace car) because they're part of our rich mustang heritage. I only don't like fwd fast and furious style cars. Also I only consider 4 cylinders below 2.0 liters to be good for gas mileage. At my dealership, the sales mgr's wife keeps dropping off her caliber saying it only gets 19mpg...hey it's a 2.4 which is considered a big four...plus she runs the a/c and holds it to the wood...I ran off a copy of a car and driver article about how they really get those mileage numbers and how they don't equate to real-world driving...
...getting a little off topic here. But yes I respect 2.3 turbos and would be happy to lay strip in one!
p.s. back in the day the 2.3 turbo and 5.0 HO had similar if not identical hp/tq numbers...gotta respect that!

My next car will be an SVO (if I can find one). Gotta love them turbo four bangers. My Ranger has a 2.3l and I love that little engine.

ya, the svo's are sweet, but nothin beats the kick-in-the-pants of the torquey v8s. and if you plan on having a 12 second turbo car, you wont get that 22mpg without a serious foot adjustment. with that kind of power feet tend to become heavier, its wierd how gravity works!
